Chapter 312: Clarifying Doubts
Chapter 312: Clarifying Doubts
In the huge conference room, more than twenty people sat on either side of a large table. Lefia glanced at Zhou Yuan.
After Lefia gave a brief introduction of both sides, she said, “‘God,’ we scientists don’t quite understand many issues in the quantum theory section of the ‘Book of Heaven,’ such as quantum stream of consciousness and quantum recombination.”
“Yes, these two are the foundation of light teleportation. If you’re interested, you can consult Nana, the Imperial AI butler, later.” Zhou Yuan pointed to Nana.
General Xingkuit and the others examined Nana closely. It was the first time they had seen her. Seeing how young and beautiful she was, clearly a human, how could Zhou Yuan claim she was artificial intelligence?
Seeing the suspicious looks she was getting, Nana smiled and said, "Master is right. You can think of me as a super cyborg."
General Xingkuit seemed somewhat afraid of Zhou Yuan, and asked in a slightly unnatural voice, "Zhou... Zhou Yuan, if I may ask, are the warships that appeared in the sun several times really yours?"
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly and asked in return, "General, what do you think?"
General Sequint tried to remain calm. "I believe in Professor Lefia."
Zhou Yuan looked at Lefia, and Lefia nodded.
"Alright, those two hundred warships in the sun are mine."
Zhou Yuan's personal confirmation of the Sun Battleship still made General Xingquet and the others widen their eyes in astonishment.
Lefia gave General Xingkuite a meaningful look, and Xingkuite came to his senses. "Zhou Yuan, if I may ask, we observed the trajectory of the 'Ninth Planet' warship from the Solar System two months ago. The solar warship came out first, but quickly returned to the sun. Are you planning to stand by and do nothing?"
"General, what do you want me to do? Destroy the 'Ninth Planet' fleet? And then you humans destroy each other? On this earth, your MCR three nations are already on the verge of World War III."
General Xingkuit, having some self-awareness, fell silent after hearing Zhou Yuan's words.
“‘God,’ I know you must be waiting for something, or you need something from humanity on Earth, otherwise you wouldn’t have waited for ten thousand years.”
“Lefia, as I’ve already told you, I’ve also been trapped by some force for the past ten thousand years. I don’t need anything from this new Earth human, but I hope that you, Lefia, will return soon.”
Zhou Yuan didn't elaborate on what he was saying next, so the others didn't fully understand. They only knew that in Zhou Yuan's eyes, Leifia was very important.
At that moment, a knock sounded at the door outside the meeting room. "Come in," Xing Quite said loudly. A man in his thirties in military uniform rushed in, quickly ran to General Xing Quite's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. General Xing Quite showed a surprised expression and then looked at Zhou Yuan.
The man in military uniform hurriedly left the conference room. General Xingkuit lowered his head and thought for a while, then approached Lefia and whispered something in her ear for two minutes. Lefia also looked surprised.
"'God,' a secret military prison in northwestern Country C was recently destroyed by a hypersonic missile launched from Country C's own space-based mobile space station. Was that your doing?"
“If you saw what Wei Shan looked like before I rescued her, I think you would agree that my decision was right. Nana, show me.”
"Yes, Master."
Nana touched her left hand, and a ring appeared on her left hand. A spherical holographic screen displayed the miserable appearance of a woman in a terrifying prison cell. The woman's face was the same as Wei Shan's face in front of everyone.
Wei Shan's expression shifted repeatedly, mostly showing anger. Lefia couldn't help but look at Wei Shan with pity.
Nana's holographic ring deactivated, and the ring disappeared again. The scientists stared intently at the ring, their eyes filled with disbelief.
“‘God,’ this matter seems to be a bit troublesome.”
"what happened?"
“Country C believes that we were responsible for this sudden incident. Now, Country C, together with Country R and other countries, is demanding that our government provide an explanation and response. Otherwise, CR and other countries will withdraw from the alliance to counter the ‘Ninth Planet’ fleet.”
When Zhou Yuan heard what Leifia said, he frowned, turned to Nana beside him and said, "Nana, let the M country's missiles destroy one of their own military prisons, and let the R country's missiles destroy one of their own military prisons as well."
Lefia, Celeste, and the others were shocked. Nana looked at Zhou Yuan and said, "Yes, Master."
Nana's eyes suddenly changed; her black pupils moved rapidly, but returned to normal after two minutes.
"Master, both countries have launched their missiles."
"Alright. Since humanity loves war, let them perish before the 'Ninth Planet' fleet arrives!"
After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Lefia also stood up and suddenly called out, "Brother Zhou!" Zhou Yuan turned around, his face clearly showing surprise.
"Brother Zhou, please save humanity on Earth. At least their consciousness is mine."
Xingkuite, Weishan, and the others were surprised, not knowing why Lefia said that. Zhou Yuan and Nana, of course, understood what Lefia meant.
"Lefia, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to protect these foolish humans on Earth."
"Brother Zhou, I know you've worked hard all these years."
Lefia's words left Zhou Yuan speechless.
“General Starquet, I need to meet with your President, Mr. Smith.”
"I can convey this to the President."
"Okay. Please contact Smith now. I'll go to the Presidential Palace immediately."
"Okay." With that, Xingkuite hurriedly left the conference room.
"Lefia, have you fully regained consciousness?"
"Brother Zhou, not yet, but my impression of you is becoming clearer and clearer."
"Oh. What about the impressions of humans in the fifth dimension?"
"Only faint, fragmented pieces appeared."
Zhou Yuan pondered whether to utilize Imperial technology to reconstruct and restore Lefia's consciousness. However, he knew it was impossible to fully restore it, as the consciousness of the New Earth humans had become detached from Lefia's overall consciousness. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Since Lefia's consciousness was being shared independently by so many New Earth humans, if the Empire's powerful technology could be used to establish a New Earth human consciousness database or network, it might be possible to restore Lefia's overall consciousness. This database would first require scanning the global consciousness of New Earth humans, then quantizing and storing it, and finally editing and recombining these quantized consciousness streams. Perhaps then, Lefia's overall consciousness could be reproduced. Although this was a massive undertaking, Zhou Yuan believed that the Empire's supercomputers were fully capable of handling it.
"Lefia, I'm going to the Presidential Palace later, are you coming too?"
"of course."
"it is good."
The scientists remained seated without uttering a word. One of the younger scientists seemed anxious when he heard that Zhou Yuan was about to leave, and tried to stand up several times before sitting down again.
Lefia must have noticed too, "Pike, what's wrong?"
The young scientist, Peak, glanced at Lefia and said, "Professor Lefia, I would like to ask... Brother Zhou a few questions."
When Leifia heard Peak refer to "your Brother Zhou," a slight blush rose on her face, and she looked at Zhou Yuan with a questioning gaze.
Zhou Yuan nodded to Peak and said, "Peak, go ahead and ask."
"Lefia often mentions you, of course, she calls you a 'god.' You must be an alien, so where is your home planet?"
"My mother planet? My mother planet is also Earth."
Peak and the other scientists were taken aback.
“My home planet, Earth, Peak, you can think of it as a parallel world to your world.”
"Parallel worlds? We scientists believe it's impossible to travel between two parallel worlds."
"Scientist? Hah."
Peak didn't know why Zhou Yuan was laughing, but even Nana seemed to have a mocking look on her face.
Zhou Yuan stared intently at Peak, then said meaningfully, "This world is not ruled by scientists."
The scientists exchanged glances, and Peak also looked displeased, while Lefia was pondering the implied meaning in Zhou Yuan's words.
Zhou Yuan pointed at Lefia and asked, "Peak, if I told you that the consciousness of all humans on this earth originated from her, Lefia, would you believe me?"
Peak raised his voice, "How is this possible?!"
"What's impossible about that? If I said I watched your universe explode from the singularity, would you believe me?"
This time, Peak was completely stunned, and the scientists stared blankly with lifeless eyes.
He witnessed the universe explode? How is that possible? He's older than the universe itself, and crucially, he was right there when it exploded! Did he create the universe?
Peak's mind was in turmoil, constantly asking himself questions, but he couldn't help but ask, "Then did you create this universe?"
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Yuan shook his head, "It wasn't me."
Peak seemed to suddenly come to his senses and quickly said, "I understand, you are from four-dimensional space."
Zhou Yuan glanced at Peak, a glance that was encouraging but not affirmative, and then casually said, "More or less."
General Starquayt strode in.
"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. 'God,' I just spoke with the President on the phone, and he has agreed to meet with you immediately. He said he is waiting for you at the White House."
"it is good."
"Then I'll arrange a car to take you there."
"How long will it take for the car to arrive?"
"It will take about an hour and a half."
"Then forget it, we'll go by ourselves. By the way, General, this matter is related to Lefia, I hope you can approve her going with me."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers, and a buzzing sound rang out. Xing Quite was surprised to see a little bee fluttering its wings, crawling out of Zhou Yuan's pocket, and then flying to Zhou Yuan's shoulder.
"Hello, Master."
"Little Bee, let's go to the Presidential Palace."
"Okay, master."
Before the crowd's initial surprise had subsided, another astonishment arose: they saw the tiny bee in the conference room suddenly grow larger and unfold into the shape of a spaceship.
Zhou Yuan, Wei Shan, Nana, and Lefia entered the spaceship in turn. The spaceship became transparent, and Xingkuite could only see the four of them. Lefia waved to Xingkuite and the others, who responded passively.
The four suddenly left the ground and touched the roof. Xingkuite and the others exclaimed "Ah!" as the four of them actually passed through the wall! In the conference room, Xingkuite and the others were all astonished to see the roof completely undamaged.
